So I wanted to work on methods to develop frugal medical devices for resourced settings.I later learnt my proposal was not enough to be a phD topic.And my advisor proposed a research area which I had no interest in.So after rejecting most of the new topics I presented, I finally gave in to his research proposal on using sentiment analysis for new product design.I struggled with most of the concepts since they were mostly computer science related work which I have less knowledge of especially with regards to coding .After sometime I managed to implement something but i still needed to create a story for my Phd topic..My difficulty has to do with the fact that after reading many research papers in an area I have no interest in, it requires a lot of effort on my part to understand what is presented any research paper an I still end up with no new ideas .I feel ashamed of myself anytime I have to meet my supervisor and have no result to present to him.
